Old Fashioned Recipe
Report
Sophisticated, classic, bold, and smooth - the old fashioned has always been my go-to cocktail order. But once I realized how simple it is to make at home, it quickly became a staple in my own kitchen! With just five simple ingredients, let me guide you through my tried and true old fashioned recipe so you can sip in style, too.

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar see notes
- 1 teaspoon water cold
- 4 drops Angostura bitters see notes
- 2 ounces whiskey see notes
- 2 inch orange peel piece
- 1-2 Luxardo cherries
Instructions
- Add the sugar, cold water, and bitters to a cocktail shaker and stir until the sugar has mostly dissolved.
- Add a few handfuls of ice and the whiskey and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add a large ice cube to a rocks glass, run the orange peel over the edge of the glass, then put the peel into the glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass and garnish with a Luxardo cherry.
Notes
- Note 1: Feel free to substitute another type of sugar. Maple syrup works really well!
- Note 2: Angostura bitters are found in most grocery stores. For a slightly different taste, try black walnut bitters or orange bitters.

- Note 3: For this recipe, choose your favorite type of whiskey. I love bourbon, so that's what I normally reach for, but rye is nice, too.
- Note 4: Rubbing the orange peel on the rim of the glass is a simple way to elevate this drink. You'll be able to smell it every time you take a sip.
- Note 5: I love Luxardo-style cherries, which are basically fancy maraschino cherries. You can use regular maraschino cherries if you like those instead.
